[Yeongam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Yeongam-gun (Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong) announced on the 23rd that on the 22nd, it conducted a ‘Field Consulting for Practical Application of New Technologies for Regional Specialized Crops’ targeting about 20 Shine Muscat farmers at the Agricultural Technology Center.

The ‘Field Consulting for Practical Application of New Technologies for Regional Specialized Crops’ is an educational method introduced to solve problems by crop type for farmers cultivating the same crops. Experts for each crop are invited to the field to conduct a Q&A style education on soil management, cultivation physiology, pests and diseases, and more.

In this training, a grape expert from the Rural Development Administration was invited to the orchard in Geumjeong-myeon to conduct consulting through Q&A on high-temperature water management, fertilization management, sugar content management, coloration management, and countermeasures for physiological disorders.

A farmer who attended the training said, “Receiving a diagnosis of the Shine Muscat’s condition before harvest was very helpful, and it was a time to resolve concerns about water management methods inside the greenhouse.”

The Agricultural Technology Center’s education officer stated, “Due to COVID-19, educational opportunities for farmers have been limited, so we plan to expand and conduct more field consulting education that solves farming problems rather than theoretical education.”
